A sheet of moonlight

Like a sketchpad with shadows
Stretched from tree limbs furiously penciled in,
A speakeasy dance floor from the 1920s

Reptilian gutters, shadow footfalls –
Abandoned imprints in disabled technology.

a dark cloud
jostled together as they are
over the roadkill.

They peck and tear
lift a little in the air
allowing another beak
to stab at a morsel.

Black wings
iridescent in the morning light
